The way the autumn colour of the tree has been picked up in the meandering stream is brilliant. The way the stream leads in from the bottom right hand corner of the frame leads the eye nicely into the upper part of the frame, again because of the yellow reflections, there is once again a tie between that and the tree further strengthening the lead in with the stream, The Titling fonts are clever by using one capital to start two words gives the cover impact, and the choice of red adds a wonderful cheerfulness to the cover as there are no reds in your actual picture, so the titling adds the final colour to each of the primaries, red yellow green and blue, further more, yellow green and blue are either a dark shadowy tone (green) or tending towards pastel shades, yellow, blue, and even that tuft of grass, thus emphasising the warm cheerful red fonts. The white lettering stands out well and balances well the whole layout of the magazine cover, not a bad job at all, well done. Oh I forgot that strip of black banking gives the whole thing a border to stop the eye running out of the top of the picture, the eye is also brought round nicely by the dark tree trunksback to the stream. Then again we have the continuation of the trunks reflected in the water, so the top and bottom of the picture are again connected by these dark threads running through the frame.

Thanks so much, Summicron!  Though, I can only take credit for the photo, not the text.  ;)

Without that photo the text would lose a lot of impact.  Good job!

Congratulations on the publishing for the cover.

The image though that they chose is just beautiful.  Autumn is such a beautiful time of year, which such color.  Lovely image.

Thanks, Becky!  Autumn is my favorite time of year.  I love spring too though, and more since I've moved North.  So nice to see color and flowers after the long monochromatic winters.
